2 Executive Summary

ENTSO-E, in line with comments received from the Agency for Cooperation of European Regulators

(ACER), the European Commission, and various other stakeholders, has a goal to improve transparency of

the evolution of investments included in the Ten Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP). To meet that

goal, ENTSO-E publishes a monitoring update of the portfolio of pan-European significance investments

included in the TYNDP one year after its publication. This report presents an overview of the evolution of

the TYNDP 2014 investments, including statistics, as well as an updated table of projects focused on the

project’s status, date of commissioning and additional monitoring information.

The validated data shows a majority of investments, 66%, are on-time regarding commissioning date, 15%

are delayed, 15% have been rescheduled, 3% have been cancelled and 1% are ahead of time. This report

focuses somewhat on the causes of investment and project delays, due to both their frequency and the adverse

impact they have on the ongoing development on the Pan-European network. Major reasons for delays are

due to difficulties in gaining permits and seeking public consent necessary for building new infrastructures.

Long term investments that are at the early stage of the planning process have been separated in the statistics

regarding modification of commissioning dates as part of the category “rescheduled”. Investments postponed

due their external driver being delayed (e.g. connection of new RES postponed…) also fall into this category.

Rescheduling of projects does not necessarily imply a negative impact on progress in network development,

rather an adaptation to changing circumstances. Likewise, cancellation of projects may well be due to the re-

clustering or repurposing of investments, thus they are replaced or negated by new investments and do not

represent the degradation or slowing of grid evolution.

3 Introduction

The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), hereby provides a

2015 update for the Table of Projects contained within the 2014 publication of the community-wide Ten Year

Network Development Plan (TYNDP)1.

The objectives of the TYNDP are to ensure transparency regarding the European electricity transmission

networks and to facilitate decision making processes at both regional and European levels. The TYNDP suite

of documents consists of a pan-European report and six Regional Investment Plans as well as a “System

Outlook and Adequacy Forecast” which aim to give a comprehensive and up-to-date European-wide

reference to the anticipated development of transmission networks. Such development is a key step in

achieving the European energy policy goals.

The publication of TYNDP 2014 complied with the requirements in Regulation (EU)714/2009, whereby

“ENTSO-E shall adopt a non-binding Community-wide 10 year network development plan, including a

European adequacy outlook, every two years”. The pan-European report contained a comprehensive list of

all electricity transmission projects of pan-European significance. The TYNDP 2014 package was publically

consulted upon in spring 2014 to allow final publication in June 2014.

4 Rationale behind the publication of an intermediate report between

TYNDPs

After the publication of the TYNDP 2012 the Agency for Cooperation of European Regulators (ACER)

published a letter outlining their opinion on the output, including recommendations for future TYNDP

publications. The Agency suggested that there should be improved monitoring of investments. In particular

full transparency of the evolution of investments, especially those delayed or cancelled and the reason for

such changes should be stated.

Within their response ENTSO-E agreed that the monitoring of the evolution of pan-European projects is

important so implementation bottlenecks can be identified. Consequently, ENTSO-E committed to publish a

mid-cycle update to the TYNDP 2012 table of projects, which took the form of the 2013 Monitoring Update2.

ENTSO-E also committed to providing more detailed information on the investments’ status in the TYNDP

2014, and intends to repeat both stages of reporting in this TYNDP cycle.

This Monitoring Update provides transparency and detailed information so as to allow the effective tracking

of the investments included in the TYNDP 2014. Without such an interim update an investment status and

schedule could significantly change within the two year time period between TYNDP publications, without

being visible to the interested stakeholders and decision bodies.

5 Methodology and Definitions

This monitoring report is an update of, and complementary to, the TYNDP 2014 and therefore the two reports

should be read in conjunction with each other. An update is made of all the investments contained within the

Community wide TYNDP 2014. New, additional investments will not be included until TYNDP 2016 as

ENTSO-E is currently in the study process.

In order to focus on the key elements of data required for investment monitoring, the information on each

investment is limited to existing projects. The investments already commissioned or cancelled in TYNDP

2014 are not taken into account in this update. For the investments presented, only the following properties

are listed:

TYNDP 2014 Investment Number – A numerical reference number consistent with the TYNDP

2014

Brief technical description – A text summary of the investment, including technical parameters

Present status – Each investment is given one of the following statuses to highlight its maturity:

o Under Consideration

o Planning

o Design and Permitting

o Under construction

o Commissioned

o Cancelled

Up-to-date expected date of commissioning - In order to increase transparency,

ENTSO-E strived to publish the best estimate expected commissioning date for all investments.

However, for long term investments at a very preliminary stage, no accurate expected commissioning

date is available as it will be assessed later as part of the feasibility studies, therefore 2030 is

conventionally displayed.

Evolution since TYNDP 2014 – The investments presented may have changed in the following

ways:

o Investment on time

o Ahead of time

o Delayed

o Rescheduled

o Cancelled

Evolution Driver – A short explanation or comment, especially for investments being delayed,

rescheduled or having been cancelled since TYNDP 2014.

6 Quantitative & Qualitative analysis of evolution since TYNDP 2014

FIGURE 2 MONITORING OF TYNDP 2014 REPORT

Figure 2 above presents the status of the investments of pan-European significance contained in the

Community wide TYNDP 2014 Table of Projects. As shown in this diagram, the majority of investments are

currently on schedule for their stated delivery. Of those not on or ahead of time, 3% are cancelled, around

15% of investments have experienced a delay to deliver over the last year, and 14% have been rescheduled.

The main drivers of these investments deviating from the timeline presented in TYNDP 2014 are covered in

the following 3 sections.

The updated TYNDP Table of Projects is shown in Annex 1 of this document.

7

6.1 Cancelled investments

3% of the investments have been cancelled. The main driver category selected are changes on the demand

and generation sides, negating the need for the project. The large category ‘Other reasons’ covers

circumstances such as failure to meet new clustering rules, omission from National Development Plans, and

being merged into different projects- none of these reasons represent a substantial portion of investments in

themselves.

FIGURE 3 CANCELLED INVESTMENTS

6.2 Delayed investments

As found in the Monitoring Update for TYNDP 2012, the majority of investments were delayed as a result

of difficulties in gaining permits and seeking public consent. Reasons captured with the category ‘Other

reasons’ include a number of problems caused by public opposition, and the necessity of additional studies

to prepare an optimal technical design which takes longer than expected. The other significant contributors

are delays related to acquisition of land, and due to other investments.

8

FIGURE 4 DELAYED INVESTMENT

6.3 Rescheduled Investments

The category ‘rescheduled’ is used in this monitoring update to highlight the uncertainty of long terms

investment. In particular, investments which meet all the criteria below are displayed as rescheduled:

To be commissioned after 2020 in the current report

Still under consideration or planning

Postponed

The objective is to give a comprehensive picture of the investment’s evolution in relation to their maturity.

Indeed, the status “rescheduled” corresponds to long term, or conceptual investments, at the early stage of

the planning process, on which further studies have allowed the provision of more accurate date of

commissioning, based for instance on a better understanding of the technical challenges or of the socio-

economic environment. In addition, investments postponed due to their external driver being delayed (e.g.

connection of new RES postponed…) are also reported into this category.

Most of these investments see a delay to the date of commissioning dates by longer than 3 years and are

mostly related to important changes in the generation connection expectations.

9

FIGURE 5 RESCHEDULED INVESTMENTS

As was found in TYNDP 2012’s monitoring update, a majority of rescheduling is necessitated by changes to

planning data- this is most frequently a manifestation of commissioning dates becoming clearer as project

and investment plans develop. The other 2 major contributing categories are changes due to generation and

demand side factors- commonly a change in date of the connection of relevant generation and demand.

Introducing TYNDP 2016

Work is ongoing in the production of the TYNDP 2016; this reports publication coincides with the

closing of the Common Planning Studies phase, and the publication of the 6 Regional Investment

Plans. In September the assessment phase will begin, wherein projects of pan-European significance

are assessed against the updated Cost Benefit Analysis process, facilitating the production and

publication of the full report by summer 2016.

608 Horta (BE) Mercator (BE) / (Doel)(BE)

Horta-Mercatorin HTLS. Critical element in the Belgian backbone, which needs to be upgraded in order to transport higher north-south fluxes (transit flows + additional market flows) and to allow connection of possible new generation (+-1000 MW) on the axis. Upgrade consists of replacing the current double circuit 380kV by high performance conductors allowing to double its transport capacity. The line currently passing Mercator going to Doel will be integrated into Mercator substation to obtain a better flux balance and avoid an upgrade between Mercator & Doel at this stage.

2019 Design & Permitting

Ahead of time The expected commissioning date of 2019 is based on the hypothesis of acquiring all necessary permits as planned, followed by the assessment of the final investment decision towards 2017.

445 Zandvliet (BE) Lillo (BE) BRABO II: Zandvliet-Lillo-Liefkenshoek + restructuring 150kV BRABO II + III allow to realize the intended market capacity increase on the North Border after BRABO I in a more robuste way, to secure increased demand around Antwerp Harbour area (mainly BRABO II) and to create capacity for connection of possible new generation (mainly BRABO III) This by constructing a new 380kV connection Zandvliet-Lillo-Mercator, in addition to the existing Zandvliet - Mercator connection. This investment item concerns the part from Zandvliet via Lillo to Liefkenshoek where the new line will be the temporarily connected onto the existing Doel-Mercator line. It also involves also a restructuring of the adjacent 150kV network.

609 Zandvliet (BE) New PST in Zandvliet substation making it the 4 th PST on the Belgian North Border, allowing a more symmetrical utilisation of the PST's. Enabling this PST to increase import capacity from NL to BE implies that the current 150kV line Zandvliet-Doel is converted to 380kV, involving adaptations to be made to the configurations of Zandvliet & Doel substations and a solution to cover the supply of Doel 150kV (probably transfo 380/150). Integrating this PST at Zandvliet also implies that a "langskoppeling" is put at Zandvliet as temporary interface between Zandvliet and the NL network until the post "Rilland" is constructed in NL (investment item 439 as part of project # 103 "Reinforcements Ring NL"). Note that the realization of investment item 439 is needed as well to allow a capacity increase direction BE to NL.

2016 Under Construction
